Chattanooga

Chattanooga is the fourth-largest city in the US state of Tennessee and the county seat of Hamilton County. The city was incorporated in 1838 from Ross' Landing, a Cherokee settlement, and it became a boom town due to its location along the Tennessee River and its status as a railroad hub. In 1864, the city was the site of a major battle during the American Civil War, and it has since been revitalized as "the Scenic City". The metro area had a population of 547,776 people in 2015.
